Modern Animals
http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
A site that is like a grown-up version of ours. It only has real species so nothing quite as interesting as what you can come up with. Another source of images.
http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/
The site we used in year 7. Contains all the classification stuff so we do not need to figure it ourselves. Also provides info about the animals. :D.
If you find any excellent general links. Add them in and write a comment about them.
